Technical Papers on EWAS Approaches

Environment-Wide Association Studies (EWAS) provide an untargeted and comprehensive approach for considering environmental factors and their involvement in complex health/disease traits. EWAS techniques are analogous to GWAS approaches and as an extension, layering GWAS and EWAS approaches offer a strategy to identify specific complex traits with larger and more relevant impacts on disease.
